The Welcome Table at Monticello's Zwingli UCC Church, a Free Monthly Community Dinner

Submitted by admin on Wed, 08/21/2019 - 7:48am

On Monday, August 26, 2019, at 530 p.m., there will be a very special community dinner sponsored by Zwingli United Church of Christ and community members. Several members of the church realized that we need more fun things to do together as a community. We have festivals, concerts, and Church dinners, these serve to gather a few very specific groups of people. So, they called some friends and developed a monthly dinner, a place where everyone could come, a place whose purpose is to gather people together. Not a fundraiser, not a place to preach or discuss a theme, a place to just be.
